This article considers an aspect of the relationship between the British government and English (public sector) housing organisations. It argues that government policy makers and local housing authorities are using performative language to refine new policy ideas, even as they are being implemented. The article draws on a study of Housing Investment Programme submissions, and concludes that whilst there is little to distinguish those authorities receiving high and low levels of funding in terms of their reported performance indicators, there are considerable differences in their uses of language
